Weiss DAC 204 hiccups

I very recently acquired a Weiss DAC 204 which I am streaming Amazon HD Music to via a Bluesound Node 2i.  The DAC sounds great and is a huge improvement over the Bluesound and Hegel H190.   However, I am getting hiccups once in a while.   I have connected the Bluesound to the Weiss using a Cardas Parsec Coax cable.  Unfortunately, I do not have a choice but to use WIFI.  I have had no WIFI stability issues in the past.  Seeking help.  Would a streamer like a PS Audio Airlens solve the problem.  I do not want to spend much more on a streamer than an Airlens.  I have been very pleased with Amazon HD, but recognize I might have to switch to Qobuz since very few streamers support Amazon HD.  Thank you in advance for advice.

Weiss is known for details first presentation. 

I never found that to be the case. Certainly the latest MkIII iteration of their DAC-1 is very informative and honest in its presentation, yes, possibly even direct, but to my ears also with an "analogue," tonally natural (/naturally warm), well balanced and holistically oriented presentation, which I find goes against the "details first" description. From what I've read their remaining model range share the overall imprinting of the DAC-1 (the only model of theirs I've listened to, fairly extensively even). Maybe some of this comes down to semantics and how we go about our impressions.
